Bandit leader Bello Turji declares war on Hausa communities across the northwest

BANDIT leader Bello Turji has published a daring video in which he has declared war on Hausa communities across northwest Nigeria warning that the Fulani will continue to wage war against them for being traitors and hypocrites.

Over recent years, parts of northwest Nigeria has been a no-go area as Mr Turji and his gang of heavily-armed terrorists have taken control of large swathes of the area. In Zamfara and Katsina states in particular, they control several local government areas, levying taxes as they please and carrying out executions to punish those who dare challenge their authority.

In a newly released video, Mr Turji issued a serious warning to the Hausa people of northwestern Nigeria, accusing them of being traitors and hypocrites He pointed out that the Hausas are responsible for the killing of innocent Fulani people and their livestock in the past and vowed to continue waging war against them if the killing of the Fulani does not cease.

Mr Turji said: “You, the Hausa community have killed our brothers and sisters and nobody has said anything about it. I hold Hausa responsible for the deaths of many Fulani."

He claimed that his gang possesses a variety of weapons, adding that their primary targets are not security personnel but rather the Hausa people. Mr Turji also drew parallels between his group’s fight and conflicts in other parts of the world, citing the ongoing wars in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iraq.

Referring to Osama Bin Laden’s death, Mr Turji noted that even after the demise of the Al-Qaeda leader, the conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq continued. He warned that Hausa people would not be allowed to continue farming on what he called our land, adding that Fulani people and their livestock could not be killed without consequences.

Furthermore, the bandit leader also vowed to ensure that the Hausa community cannot harvest their crops. He vowed that they will not harvest the crops on their farms and if you dare to, they will die.
